ID:	895996 Indecision plagued me almost from the get go. A friend had given me a hunk of frozen elk labeled Elk Roast. Oh what to do? I dry brined it overnight then put it in a marinade, a concoction that I threw together. Strategically inserted pieces of garlic throughout the chunk o’ meat. Question was how to cook it. I have dealt with blackstrap & steaks & small pieces but not a roast. I started out wrapping it with bacon to providing some fat in the cook. I loaded the SnS & prepared for a long cook of 3 to 4 hours at 270ish. I got the internal to 118 & got the jitters. Changed my mind about the long cook, pulled the bacon off, the coals took right off & I proceeded to sear it to 138. I am so glad I chose the sear MR route. Moist & juicy, great chewin, tender, wife said taste was outstanding. Here is my confuse-a-cat cook. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​​​​​​

    Elk and deer roasts I marinade, slow cook, and then reverse sear to medium rare - just like a tri tip.

    Or, crock pot.

      Same as a elderly goat roast from thinning the free-grazing herd before winter. I've taken to injecting beef bone stock into the really firm areas of the roast, way after seasoning and ~ 10 mins before laying it up in the indirect zone.

      It looks amazing FireMan

          I have never had elk. Only game I have had is venison. But that looks outstanding. I would eat that anytime. Nicely done pitmaster!

            Nothing wrong with that cook.
            I've tried elk and bison but only burgers so far.
            Had Cariboo steaks. That is an acquired taste!
